The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

In this case it’s more like there’s an entire town with thousands of people, and there’s someone who’s on a walled garden yelling slurs, and the towns all around are yelling to close the doors to the “racist town because they don’t boot that racist old man”. Which in a sense is kinda like yeah maybe there’s this duty there to boot the racist old man. But it’s just one guy and everyone can just erase the garden from their existence with one button. If it were beehaw. No doubt, boot the guy. But unlike beehaw sjw is not the banhappiest instance, and seems instead like the banunhappiest community lol. So judging them by judging your immediate surroundings is setting too high of a standard.
In your example, you referred to an individual who was easily dismissed by everyone who heard them without exception. If there was nothing to fascist rhetoric, I wouldn’t worry about it. The issue is that it can be very compelling if you are not its victim and don’t have reason to critisize it.
I used fire in my example because even though it can start small, it can spread rapidly. Fascism spreads wherever it’s allowed. I’ve watched it happen and known people who were unprepared become seduced by it. Please don’t assume it’s benign.
Your post reminds me of The Crust Punk Bar
